President-in-exile of the Central Tibetan Administration - Lobsang Sangay

What is Tibet's strategy for achieving its objectives from the Chinese leadership? President-in-exile Lobsang Sangay speaks to Zeinab Badawi about the short and long term goals.

It is 60 years since Beijing put down the Tibetan revolt, which killed tens of thousands of people. That was also when the Dalai Lama began his long exile from his homeland. While still the Tibetan people鈥檚 spiritual leader, he relinquished political control eight years ago. Zeinab Badawi speaks to his de facto President in exile, Lobsang Sangay, who says the situation is now 鈥渃ritical鈥 and that Tibet is a 鈥渉uge prison under China鈥檚 unfettered rule鈥. So what are the Tibetan people鈥檚 ambitions now? And what is their strategy for achieving it from the increasingly assertive and authoritarian Chinese leadership?
